You must mind the one taking care of you, but she's not your mama.\" Ashley Rhodes-Courter spent nine years of her life in fourteen different foster homes, living by those words. As her mother spirals out of control, Ashley is left clinging to an unpredictable, dissolving relationship, all the while getting pulled deeper and deeper into the foster care system. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Painful memories of being taken away from her home quickly become consumed by real-life horrors, where Ashley is juggled between caseworkers, shuffled from school to school, and forced to endure manipulative, humiliating treatment from a very abusive foster family. In this inspiring, unforgettable memoir, Ashley finds the courage to succeed - and in doing so, discovers the power of her own voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416948063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.62h x 6.54w x 1.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgia Peach Book Award for Teen Readers - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Volunteer State Book Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Rhode Island Teen Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliot Rosewater Indiana High School Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Florida Teens Read - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2007 pg. 1204\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2008 pg. 145\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/07\/2008 pg. 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2008 pg. 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2008 pg. 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2008 pg. 173 - Recommended - Better Than Most\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2008 pg. 456 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2008 pg. 456 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e119448 \/ Three Little Words: A Memoir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.4 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ashley Rhodes-Courter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42917139742901,"sku":"9781416948063","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_888a805e-10a3-4007-863f-29e2becd60e8.jpg?v=1687278439","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/three-little-words-a-memoir-9781416948063","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
